The old covenant was done away with because Israel could not keep it

Very good essay - very apt.

I think the call to come out from among them and touch not the unclean thing,  2 Corinthians 6:17 and Isaiah 52:11Depart, depart, go out from there! Touch no unclean thing; come out from it, purify yourselves, you who carry the vessels of the LORD.

Revelation 18:4 Then I heard another voice from heaven say: "Come out of her, my people, so that you will not share in her sins or contract any of her plagues.

is the hardest to obey when the unclean are those friends within our own community, church. The sinful elect all think they can stay true to GOD while mingling with the reprobate and a strong ruler over them will save them.

HE gave HIS wayward country (church) the leader Moses with laws, and Judges, Kings and Prophets to guide HIS people to prove to HIS sinful elect that such leaders cannot help them to stay clean, no religion nor government can do for them what they must do for themselves, to come out from among them in their hearts.

I cannot help but apply these thoughts to the modern church who is strongly scolded in the end times in the Revelation to John. I tend to not see them as 7 different churches but as 7 apostasies of the one contaminated church, shrug.

If one looks very closely at the history of the seven churches, they fall in line with the churches through out the last 1900 years. We are in the last church age today.. Can you compare the last Church Jesus speaks of with the majority of Churches today..

Rev 3:17..(KJV).."Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:"

All those prosperity churches out there ring any bells.

There is two churches that Jesus had nothing BAD to say about them and that Church is Philadelphia. These type churches today consists of those who truly believe. I am one of them.
